Behind the gates of SeaWorld, Busch Gardens, and Sesame Place lies a shared history shaped by innovation, controversy, and reinvention.
In this episode of Where In The Park, we chart the full timeline of United Parks & Resorts, from its earliest aquatic experiments and brewery beginnings to the rides, rescues, and rebrands that define it today.
It’s a journey from reef to rescue—and everything in between.
